I am so proud of this team! Off lead, advanced work - hurdles and weave poles. - I didn’t get video, but she did just as well when I added distractions (balls rolling around are VERY distracting 😆)

It won’t be long before she actually does competition AKC work!

LuLu has graduated 💕. Now on to distraction classes and Canine Good Citizen!

For a young puppy, she is truly motivated to do any/everything Liam requests (she is good with everyone. - especially if they have fish, but for Liam she excels!)

REMINDER TO ALL - PEOPLE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO SUFFER FROM UNHEALTHY AIR!

The bad Air Quality from Canadian wild fires can be just as unhealthy for animals as they are for people. Limit time outside especially for senior pets or those with underlying health conditions.

Clay, Felicity and “my” Odie! Odie used to be a very anxious pup - not sure about anything new. Now? He is full of confidence and joy. So grateful to have been part of his journey - and waiting to welcome him to the “distraction family!”

Levi and his pawrent, Harold, completed training today. Levon is one very lucky pup — A rescue, whose life is now filled with love and adventure - these 2 are truly “best friends”

Can’t wait to introduce them to the “gang” at distraction classes!
